Helicopters join efforts to waterbomb wildfire within UK's largest national park

More than 50 firefighters and two helicopters are continuing to waterbomb a major wildfire within the UK's largest national park, as it burns for a third day.

The blaze within Cairngorms National Park, which has been contained, has been ongoing for three days and is estimated to have burnt more than four 1.5 square miles (four square kilometres) of land.

A number of homes and businesses within the Glenmore Forest Park area - including campsites and Cairngorm Mountain Resort - have been evacuated and closed as a precaution.
